Review:it's raw with so much emotion (said from a emotional person perspective). I found myself just as in milk and honey marking page after page. However some of it does sound like it was repeating mostly in the first chaper which was hard and rather boring for me to get through. Some pages are one sentence which saddens me as though she was just trying to make the book bigger or needed to fill a page. Read more

Review:I got this as a gift for my boyfriend, who is a huge Tolkien fan. He instantly loved it and excitedly flipped through each page. I'd recommend for anyone who loves Lord of the Rings or other Tolkien works! Read more

Review:I'm glad I got this three volume set instead of the all-in-one book, which is way too thick and heavy to carry around easily. It's probably also much cheaper than the ones sold in most college bookstores. These books were in good condition as described by the seller, and arrived quickly. Read more

Review:"I am writing the best poems of my life... They will make my name." --Sylvia Plath, on the Ariel poems
It is a pity that Sylvia Plath is so underestimated--most people I know have never heard of her, and those who have dismiss her as an angry feminist who committed suicide. It is a sacrilege to sum up her person so: Plath is one of the most important poets of our century, and Ariel her most important work.
In it one can find the famous poems "Daddy", in which Plath shakes loose her restrai... Read more

Review:I have been interested in Sarah Kay for 2 years now. In a speech class, we were shown her TED speech and I was hooked. This book is great fun to read out loud to people that may be new to poetry. Keep up the great work. Read more

Review:My favorite ones are Conversations About Home and Ugly. Warsan Shire has the most amazing way of expressing the beauty of desperate pain and agony. Breast cancer, rape, war, displacement, belonging, she muses the pains that mothers and daughters feel in such a breathtaking flow of language. Read more

Review:I got this on a whim. It's 2am and I should be asleep, but this was free and I knew nothing about it so I downloaded it and devoured it.

I could say all the pretty words like "It's moving" or "heart-wrenching" or "touching", but that would be doing this book a disservice because this is so much more than any eloquent review could do justice.

I feel like my heart let out a sigh of relief for someone being able to put into words what I never knew I needed to hear.

This was bea... Read more

Review:One of many things that separated Neil Gaiman's Sandman from other comic book characters is that the foreboding but likable king of dreams has existed since the beginning of time and is supposed to be an archetype common to all cultures. Gaiman was free to visit any time and place he wanted to. However, he set all of Sandman's long story arches in the present. Tales from ancient Rome or Elizabethan England were limited to single issue stories bordering bigger epics. Fables and Reflections, place... Read more

Review:Reservation Blues is neither fun nor happy; the book lives up to its title. The author shows the reader the lives of young Spokanes trying to find purpose and direction in their lives through music. The main characters are plagued by misfortune and malaise. They fail to find success. The author bravely declines to follow the standard pattern by offering the reader hope that the main characters' lives will turn out okay despite their crushing circumstances. Instead, the reader is shown the e... Read more
